Reenjeksiyon kuyularının jeotermal rezervuarlara stratejik olarak yerleştirilmesi, sürdürülebilir ve maksimum termal geri kazanımın önemli bir belirleyicisidir. Sıcaklık düşüşünü en aza indirmek ve uzun süreler boyunca etkili basınç desteğini sürdürmek çok önemli hedeflerdir. Bu araştırma, Türkiye'nin batısındaki fayların varlığı ile karakterize edilen heterojen bir jeotermal rezervuar içerisinde saha içi enjeksiyonu, dipol enjeksiyonu ve çevresel enjeksiyon kuyusu konfigürasyonları dahil olmak üzere çeşitli kuyu enjeksiyon modellerinin uygulanmasını kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmektedir. Bu jeolojik özelliklerin ve bunlarla ilişkili özelliklerin hem saha ölçeğindeki performans hem de bireysel kuyu verimliliği üzerindeki etkisi, üç boyutlu sayısal rezervuar simülasyonu aracılığıyla titizlikle değerlendirilir. Bu çalışma, çeşitli üretim-enjeksiyon stratejileri için kuyu konfigürasyonlarını optimize ederek, Türkiye'nin batısındaki jeotermal rezervuar gelişiminin arttırılması ve sonuçta sürdürülebilir enerji üretimi için termal geri kazanımın en üst düzeye çıkarılması konusunda değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır.

Comparing Reinjection Strategies in Naturally Fractured Geothermal Reservoirs: A 3D Numerical Modeling Approach

Öz

The strategic placement of reinjection wells within geothermal reservoirs is a pivotal determinant of sustainable and maximized thermal recovery. Minimizing temperature decline and maintaining effective pressure support over extended timescales are crucial objectives. This investigation comprehensively evaluates the implementation of diverse well injection patterns, including infield injection, dipole injection, and peripheral injection well configurations, within a heterogeneous geothermal reservoir characterized by the presence of faults in western Turkiye. The influence of these geological features and their associated properties on both field-scale performance and individual well productivity is rigorously assessed through a three-dimensional numerical reservoir simulation. By optimizing well configurations for various production-injection strategies, this study provides valuable insights into enhancing geothermal reservoir development in western Turkiye, ultimately maximizing thermal recovery for sustainable energy production.
